A Netherland Dwarf Rabbit from our house to your door in Alabama. That is the short version. The longer one: we are Arlen Rabbitry in Bakersfield, California, the ground run is done by a USDA certified pet transport service in a climate-controlled vehicle, and nothing we send is ever flown or shipped as cargo. Collection from Bakersfield is welcome any day you can get here. $250 for bucks and does alike.
So how does a bunny actually get to Alabama?
You tell us which one you want and roughly where in Alabama you are. We come back with a price for your actual address rather than a figure off a chart, and a date chosen around what the route looks like that week rather than around the calendar.
From there it is a USDA certified pet transport service doing the ground leg. Climate-controlled vehicle, regular stops for water and a check, and a carrier with enough room to turn round and stretch out. Your bunny is never flown and never goes as cargo.
At the far end the transporter hands your bunny to you in person at your door, and you hear from us while the run is happening rather than only when it is finished.
Alabama: the timings
Two days is the floor for anywhere, and Alabama sits at 3 days because it is 1,900 to 2,200 miles of road from Bakersfield. That figure already includes the stops and the overnight breaks; it is not a straight-line estimate. Summer humidity means overnight travel and a cool vehicle the whole way. Winters are mild enough to be a non-event.
Driving out instead? It is about 33 to 38 hours at the wheel, two to three days each way with overnight stops. Worth it for a lot of people, because you get to handle the whole litter before you decide and your bunny travels home with you rather than with anybody else. There is no charge for collecting.
Getting a Netherland Dwarf to Alabama
Alabama is 1,900 to 2,200 miles from us, 3 days on the road. The run is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service, in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops for water and a check. Your bunny goes by road the whole way: never flown, and never shipped as cargo.
What this breed's size means for the journey. A Netherland Dwarf is the easiest of the four to move. It travels in a small carrier, it eats little on the road, and it copes with a long journey better than the heavier breeds because there is simply less animal to keep cool.
Alabama weather, and this breed
Summer humidity means overnight travel and a cool vehicle the whole way. Winters are mild enough to be a non-event.
Being small, a Netherland Dwarf sheds heat more efficiently than a Mini Lop, which makes summer travel less fraught. The short face is the offsetting factor though, so we still run the southern legs at night.
Netherland Dwarfs ready for Alabama now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If one of these has gone by the time you write, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a Netherland Dwarf in the South
Better suited to the South than either lop, because a small body sheds heat efficiently. The short face is the real limitation: humid Southern air is harder on a compressed airway than on an open one, so a Netherland Dwarf that is breathing audibly at rest in August needs cooling immediately rather than watching.
Size. 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown, the smallest rabbit we raise. Care. The short face means dental alignment is worth watching properly: check the front teeth monthly and get any misalignment seen early. Otherwise low maintenance, with a short coat that needs almost nothing.
What it gets mistaken for. Confused with a young Holland Lop, because a Holland at eight weeks is about the adult size of a Netherland Dwarf. The ears settle it: Dwarfs stand upright, Hollands lop. Everything about the Netherland Dwarf.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Alabama
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.

- Mini Lops for sale in Alabama, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- French Lops for sale in Alabama, 10 lb and up full grown
What arrives with your Netherland Dwarf
A care sheet written for this breed rather than for rabbits in general, enough of the food it is already on to change over across a week, and its date of birth and parentage in writing. The full list.
Have a vet in mind before it travels to Alabama. Rabbits need a vet who actually sees rabbits, and that is worth checking in advance rather than in an emergency.
